One of the most exciting races of the year has arrived, as it is time to set the field for the 2009 Chase for the Sprint Cup Series Championship. Richmond plays host to the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 where 11 drivers are trying to lock up the final eight spots in the Chase.
For our Creatures this means they have one last chance to snatch up the last ten bonus points available as we will be reset for New Hampshire next weekend. It also means that after this weekend the Creature can only pick a driver once over the final ten events.
But before they really have to put on their thinking caps and get serious, this weekend it’s all about rocking out and here’s whom our Creatures think are going to roll into victory lane on Saturday night.
Ben Bomberger: Kyle Busch
The shrub knows what he needs to do on Saturday night to get himself a spot in the Chase. While a win isn't necessary, this kid is never satisfied with second-place.
I see hoisting the trophy in victory lane, securing a Chase berth, and sitting first in points after the reset.
James Broomhead: Denny Hamlin
It's the last race before the Chase, so expect some fireworks. That said, I'm pinning my final hopes of bonus points on flat track old reliable Denny Hamlin. With his security in the Chase I'm hoping he can go for the win pressure free.
Mary Jo Buchanan: Kyle Busch
Busch knows he needs the performance of his life to get into the Chase. He has one win, the May race, and seven top five finishes at Richmond. He will either win or crash and burn. And in this case, I'm picking him to race his way in.
Kelly Crandall: Kyle Busch
All eyes are going to be on the M&M’s Toyota come Saturday night. He’s one of the best at Richmond, won the Spring race, and said he is going there with no other plans than to win the race this weekend.
